NAVObjectViewer 5.0
With this tool you can view and analyze NAV text object files. After importing an object file, the objects are displayed in a treeview (explorer like) structure.
You can enter one or more search expressions to get only those objects containing the search strings. You can right click an object to get those objects which use the selected object in any way. For example if you look for the usage of a table object, all objects where shown which use record variables of that table. The matching search strings are highlighted in the text part of the object viewer.
The tool is much simpler than for example Developer's Toolkit, but it is much faster. You can analyze arbitrary object files from NAV version 2.0 up to 5.0 SP1. There is a new (commercial) version available which can handle object files from NAV 2009, too, including the new page objects and the extended report format (xml part).
Note: If you open an object file created with NAV 2009 with this version of the tool, it may crash due to some missing carriage return signs in the xml part of report objects.

Update 30/04/2009:
This is an update with some bug fixes (in certain cases the error "No valid NAV object file" appears, though the file is valid) - and some new features. You can manually remove objects from the list and save the displayed objects to a new text file (new Save-Button).

- not all TableRelations for a table are found with the "Where used" context menu item applied to a table object.
- if the object file contains a carriage return character (ASCII 13) which is not followed by a line feed character (ASCII 10), or a line feed which is not preceeded by a carriage return, respectively, NAVObjectViewer may crash with an unhandled exception - this may occur if the value of a property is pasted into NAV object designer or in connection with NAV 2009 report objects containing XML layout data, respectively.
Planned for the next version(s):
- support for regular expressions (optionally) - this will be realized in the next version
- updating an object file with another file containing newer objects
- direct extraction and update of objects from a running NAV client (no object file necessary)
- ... (please put your own suggestions)
